Do you rent your tools out?

The SIR B90 Master kit actually got into my hands at a much lower price then normal. I might not have bought it if I didn't get it at the price I did. I thought about trying what you did, but wasn't sure how well it would work out and I found this deal on the SIR B90 Master kit and it was a no-brainer to go that route IMO.

However I won't be able to get the price I paid again and would have to figure the normal cost replacement if I rented it out. The Harbor Freight kit is $137.90 with shipping and tax and the hub grappler is $159.97. So that's a total of $297.87 for kits of lower quality then the SIR B90.

So if I rented it out I could gain back extra cost after about 3 rentals. Or I could sell it and possibly break even, but I would rather hang onto it though.

Yeah looks like the OTC Grappler has gone up a little bit dang it, but this is essentially the same FWD bearing adapter kit on Amazon for $66

You get what you pay for on kits like this, low price, low quality.

Click on the 1 star reviews and you will see the low quality of this kit.
